Trauma to teeth and the dentoalveolar process may result in a ridge defect that precludes straightforward implant
therapy of the patient. Typically bone and soft tissue augmentation of the area would first be needed to adequately
prepare the tissues for the implant and its restoration..Grafting of the site is substantially more difficult in cases where
the ridge also lacks adequate height, and techniques to recreate a bony envelope to apply guided bone regeneration
may be required. Moreover, defects in the anterior aesthetic zone that require both bone and soft tissue grafting and
a restoration that harmonizes the adjacent pink and white aesthetics may be an even more significant challenge to
the restorative team. Hereafter a case of trauma to an anterior maxillary tooth that saw destruction of the ridge is
presented, with the defect reconstructed to accommodate a functional and aesthetically pleasing implant supported
restoration.

"Partial Extraction Therapies" for Preservation of the RidgeUnderstand PET/Socket Shield’s healing biology according to present knowledge.
Learn about PET/Socket Shield complications, and how to solve them.
Learn the benefits of combining Biological Modulators (Endoret®) to enhance PET/Socket Shield’s results.
Learn how to obtain an adequate 3D soft tissue thickness around dental implants, and how this biological benefit is reflected in the aesthetics and durability of treatments.

Creative Ridge Expansion Solutions Utilizing Ultrasonic Technologies Management of the narrow ridge is a common challenge in modern prosthetically-driven implant dentistry. Treatment using a simple and highly predictable procedure for alveolar ridge expansion can be employed using new techniques and technologies which will be introduced on this presentation.

Growth Factors; The Next Step in Achieving Ideal RegenerationThe aim of dentistry is to provide esthetics and function for our patients. Using hard and soft tissue regeneration techniques we have the ability to rebuild what has been lost to disease or trauma. Whether we are regenerating lost tissue around teeth or developing an ideal implant site, growth factors are a powerful asset that help make regenerative procedures more predictable while reducing patient morbidity. This webinar review regeneration techniques and will discuss the popular growth factors available today and demonstrate their clinical use.

Achieving Stable Esthetic Results with Implant Supported RestorationsWe will discuss basic concept regarding immediate implant placement and guided bone regeneration procedure related to the esthetic zone before focusing on the soft tissue management. We will describe the prosthetic procedures which are performed before, during and after the surgical procedures. Provisional restorations, impression techniques, prosthetic profiles and restorative materials will be presented. The purpose of the presentation is to provide a check list that will guide the clinician developing a proper analysis and diagnosis for the successful esthetic result with implant supported restoration.

Contemporary and Future Trends in Advanced Bone AugmentationModern grafting technologies are changing at a rapid pace. To stay current we must engage new technologies and research to better face the challenges of our diverse patient population. This presentation will focus on new strategies and technologies to manage both Vertical and Horizontal Deficiencies in the partially edentulous patient. New membrane technologies, bioactive modifiers and materials will be a focus.
